Could you be related to a rock star?
Lead singer for the outrageous American band The Tubes, Fee Waybill (pictured), reckons he could have Brighton connections.
In an interview on the band's latest DVD, The Tubes Wild West Show, Fee (who was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1950) confides his family "originally came from Brighton, England".
Former Radio Brighton presenter, John Henty, is a big fan of the San Francisco-based band and recently received this email from Fee: "My grandfather's name was John L Waybill and his family came from Brighton. I think my grandfather's father moved to Missouri from England but I don't know when. There can't be that many Waybills!"
Indeed... So - are you one of them and did you know you could be related to a top American rock'n'roller?
Fee is hoping to be in the country soon, starring in the Rocky Horror Show with the Gerald Harper Theatre Company.
